The 'Shroom:Issue LV/Pipe Plaza
Director's Notes (Marioguy1 (talk))Hey guys! Welcome to another issue of the Pipe Plaza! If you look at the sign-up page, you'll notice that the Pipe Plaza now has two less writers than it used to. The vacancies are for Ralphfan, resigning from Forum Update and myself, Marioguy1, resigning/being fired from Featured. This means we now have two new spots open! So go on and sign up for them, read my Pipe Plaza page if you haven't already done so and continue with the issue! Tip of the Month (FunkyK38 (talk))Tip of the Month: When uploading images, try to upload them in the highest quality possible. Don't use .bmp images as the server will not let you upload them. Also try to make good use of the background space, if there is any, such as with character art. It's helpful to center your image then reduce the white space around it in a program like Paint or Photoshop. This will reduce the amount you have to upload, and the server space it takes up. PipeProjects Seeking Contributors (Yoshiwaker (talk))Since the time I wrote my last section, there have been 2 new PipeProjects started that are in need of contributors. Well, what am I waiting for? Here they are: First up, we have the Super Mario Sunshine: Blue Coins PipeProject. People who join this should try to find out where all those Blue Coins are, then put them in the location article. Really good idea; it's a real pain to find all of them by yourself. Next, there's the Wario Land 4 PipeProject. Since most of the articles related to WL4 are stubs (and there are some that don't exist), people who join this should try to create and unstubbify articles on levels and enemies from Wario Land 4. Well, that's all for this time! Mario Calendar (Paper Yoshi (talk))In memory of Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs (San Francisco, CA; February 24th, 1955 – Palo Alto, CA; October 5th, 2011)
Upcoming Games (Paper Yoshi (talk))In memory of Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs (San Francisco, CA; February 24th, 1955 – Palo Alto, CA; October 5th, 2011) Mario & Nintendo 3DSSeptember brought us more news regarding 3DS Mario games, including a brand new Mario Tennis installment for Nintendo's handheld console. Mario Tennis (tentative title) screenshots reveal the game will most likely be based off of Mario Power Tennis for the GameCube. It has also been announced Mario Tennis will feature gyroscope support. As for previously unveiled games, Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 have finally gotten exact release dates (shown below). Both games will support gyroscope controls and StreetPass, while only MK7 will support SpotPass. In SM3DL, some enemies are set to sport Tanooki tails, such as Goombas and even King Bowser. Three new characters will race alongside the usual Mario crew in Mario Kart 7; they are Shy Guy – playable in MKDS only as a Download Play option –, Lakitu and Metal Mario. New items, such as the Tanooki Tail, and new retro courses, such as Kalimari Desert and Waluigi Pinball, have also been revealed. As for other courses, MK7 will be the first Mario Kart game with a 1-lap track: Wuhu Island, due to its considerable length. Tricks from Mario Kart Wii are set to return. In the field of digital media, Nintendo released Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins for the 3DS Virtual Console in all regions but Japan on September 29th. Japanese 3DS owners will be able to control Mario on his quest for the castle's keys starting on October 12th.
